Broken Cog posted:Ugh, why not just double the time of the "recently burned" modifier instead? Having to babysit the areas you are razing is boring as hell, I wish there was a way of automating it. Why not a checkbox or start pillaging and stop pillaging buttons and have it tick off every three months or so?

They really need to add a "kill entire family and culture" or something for playing as the mongols, it's absolutely awful to have to squash stupid little rebellions from dumbass Persians who are willing to send stacks of 100 guys like ants all over useless steppe. For some reason occupying nowherestan is 5% WS for the rebels, but capturing the capital and squashing all the stacks is only about ~20%. This expansion really highlights the annoying, bad parts of CK2 war system. It's just so drat tedious to conquer all this poo poo. It's tedious to pillage holdings, it's tedious to stop independence revolts, it's tedious to give out land you conquered. The hard part of getting Khan of Khans isn't the strategy or planning in being able to keep up the invasion, it's if you're willing to chase 100 man stacks around the entire game world in at most 3x speed, because any faster and your stacks may die to attrition without you noticing or you may suicide them into the enemy while you were trying to move.

Automate province pillaging if you're gonna make me click twice as much imo. It's already tedious when you reform your faith and a Great Holy War gets called and now you've got the entirety of Hungary to burn down. Also 'give title + all titles under it' doesn't seem to work for nomads... I created a kingdom (khanate), gave it to a new clan I just split off, but then still had to manually give him the provinces one by one. Same for duchies; it'll give the duchy but not the provinces regardless of whether the 'all titles under' box is checked or not.

So, the game I've got going right now is basically my first game since Way of Life came out, and are people saying that the seduction rates got nerfed compared to what was going on when it first came out? Because my current character is on his third wife right now, the first two having been divorced due to unfaithfulness. My character is also still 16. My previous character also went through about four wives before he found one that wasn't loving someone else behind his back - as far as he knew, anyway. This is nuts.

Does anyone know which file decides what causes the catholic holy orders to spawn? I'm trying to make a mod that makes it so the Templar ect. don't all just spawn at once as soon as the crusades start and instead spawn more naturally at different times (Templar when catholics control Jerusalem for example). I looked in landed_titles.txt but couldn't find any conditions for when they spawn.

The Catholic holy orders have their activations events in events/religious_events.txt, so you can tweak the conditions there to stagger their formation or tweak conditions or whatnot. vvvv: whoops, don't forget those ones too.

If you destroy all the holdings in a province it automatically converts to your culture and religion so all you have to do is park your horde in the area you want to pillage to swat down the rebels and then slowly burn everything to the ground.

Man, I just spent 3 years sieging down every holding in Byzantium from Damascus to Thrace, and some little poo poo suddenly presses his claim on the Byzantium Throne, which cancels my entire invasion. That is some bullshit right there, let me tell you.

Losing a Nomad title to another clan on an Ironman run and having that clan immediately settle, causing your borders to look like poo poo and giving you back a horde which now demands that you split your clan and give up 9 of your remaining provinces has to be one of the most gigantic gently caress yous I've ever seen in this game. Then I tried to take back some of my lands with a subordination CB and tried to call in Seljuks and Ghaznavids as allies. The other guy isn't even allied to them, but it looks like both of them just decided to join his side in the subordination war. Is this because of the "nearby Sunnis may ask to join his war" thing? If so, that's utter bullshit because I'm Sunni too.

Is no one else but me keeping a lot of vassals as a Nomad? I see a lot of complain about the bothersomeness of having to pillage everything. The thing is I'm so often far away from my max pop cap and swimming in gold, with the current beta patch still, that it's even better for me to create vassals out of some temples and city for even more sweet sweet money, since they automatically give out max cash. Also it has the added bonus of slowing down conquest against your lands if the AI decides to invade, on top of them providing some troop fodder for you, while I'm off pillaging lands easier to integrate (like the steppes/tribal lands). So the end results is that I'm tearing down the forts (since I prefer an empty land for the pop and having my own troops than max vassal levy) and keeping some of the cities/temples. IF I ever reach pop cap, it's really just a matter of revoking a city/temple, which they almost never refuse. So far, my temple/city income is very close to equal my nomadic taxe income. /edit Also, using the "create vassal" option makes them your culture/religion, which helps a lot if you started as a Mongol/Tengri in the early years, which let me tell you are few on the map.

Anonononomous posted:Is there any good way to not be invaded by the Byzantines in a Venice game? I somehow did it in my last one, but that got broken and on my current attempt the emperor declares war on me before I've even gained another county. You're almost certainly going to be invaded at some point because Venice is de jure part of the Byzantine empire - the trick is really just having a large enough defensive force that they can't actually capture you. Venice is insanely easy to defend - as a one county island any attackers will have to come it at 50% morale with a big "attacking from sea" combat penalty on top of that, and the AI is pretty bad at naval campaigns so it's very unlikely to hit you with its full force all at once. Basically you won't be able to stop them from attacking you, but you should be able to wait out their invasion without much trouble.

Anyone know why I didn't get Constantinople when I invaded the Byzantines? I sieged absolutely everything, but even though I got all the secondary holdings, I didn't get the main county for either Constantinople itself, nor for Thrace.

Is attrition bugged? I've had to split the horde as 20k in one province doesn't always work. But now I have an 11k and an 9k unit and they move into a province and bam supply goes from Nvm I just realized it was winter... man political map mode in the steppes is dangerous when ur not used to caring about seasons. RIP HORSE GUYS I'll never get above 20k at this rate. I'd be like at least 50k deep in soldiers if I just remembered the goddamn winter. Gonna need more fur maker buildings I guess
